Roxy,

Congrats to u & do take gd care. In fact, I had a miscarriage in late feb. Gynae say usually the 2nd pregnancy wld be gd after 1st miscarriage so am sure ours wld be smooth this time. :0)
 
Good morning everyone. So happy it's Friday. Thanks for everyones reassuring words and advise yesterday. I called up my gynae's clinic and asked the nurse there on what I should do. She said there's no reason to worry cos not everyone will have MS or even pregnancy symptoms. She just asked me to monitor myself and if there's slight spotting, to call them up asap for an appt with doctor. My first scan is this coming Monday. Can't wait to see something. TGIF!!
 
roxy! me also 600++...hahaha...think we are VERY near...:p

i was surfing on my blackberry...but super slow la...to refresh one page takes forever! haha
 
Thank God its friday..

RE: bad Day,

Yesterday was a bad day for me . my maid of 3 months suddenly wrote me a note saying tat she wants to go back to her home town and do not wish to be transfer... hb feels tat now i am with no.2 so she is worried tat there will be too much work and she can't cope.. .. so tomorrow got to go for maid shopping again...

Haiz...

RE: pain

Does any one have any pain in the ovary? i have this pain coming on and off.... last time when i was with the first one dun have leh... i am starting to get worried......
 
I'm still wearing heels to work.... cos think will be too suspicious if I suddenly stop wearing heels. I'm now very careful where I walk and I'm wearing new shoes cos the soles are better....
 
i stopped wearing heels coz my mum will nag at me when she sees me in heels...so unless i am not gg back for dinner, i'll don on my heels..hahaa...
 
feifei, i ate 1 slice of bread and a cup of milo. now feeling very faint.

i had stopped wearing all my heels. now they are in cold room, so sad. only wear them when got wedding dinner.
 
morning ladies!!!!

aiyo, i a bit worried leh. for the first few weeks, i was having bad MS. then I was sick the for the past few days, today finally feeling better. but MS no more and tummy seems to be not so bloated!!!!! wondering if the baby is growing well......
 
Hi Juliet & Roxy,

Both staying jurong? Near where? I am staying Jurong West.. 600+ there.

Heels,
I think heels stil ok bah. As long be careful and not too high bah.

iamsnow,
Dun worry la. No MS also good. Sometime having MS may not mean bb is extreme healthy. Its jus our body & hormones reacting. Bb is sure growing well inside you as long regular check up, eat right sleep well okie. Worry too much wont do good for you & bb too okie. Cheer up today is FRIDAY!

WELLCOM BELSI!

Haiz.. now also no appeitie to eat. Morning only drink a glass of milk. Feeling so awful wanted to vomit out so i rather don eat & surpress it by myself. Have not visit my gynae yet. Mostly next week bah when I turn about 7weeks then may able to see & hear heart beat. Now give mi shark fin also dun feel eating..
 
I agree with Cynthia. I think at different stages, our MS symptoms will increase/decrease. As long as no prolonged severe cramping, or spotting or bleeding, still okay. But if really worried, maybe better to see doctor for reassurance if not, we anxious, bb also anxious. Not healthy in long run. I think we will all be more relieved when 2nd trimester comes... at least, we can feel bb move... not so scared already. I'm also feeling less bloated today.
 
HI,

Have been reading this topic but only choose to register yesterday and posting now.

My EDD is 7 June 2008. Gynae is Jocelyn Wong of TMC. Now am at 7.5 week (coming to 8 week). Just went to Scan few days ago and saw bb heartbeat

I am excited but also worried as I have spotting (brown discharge)on and off since 1 month ago, gynae give me hormones med to eat, better now but still have on and off spotting.

I also have bloated stomach, during the last scan the gynae can't even scan anything cos too much air inside, she has to scan from virginal. Feel so bloated that sometimes i can't eat anything. Eat a bit then feel full, but become hungry v easily and sudden.

Next mth i am going for Oscar test, anyone done this test yet?
 
Hello gals, I know I have been MIA for sometime. Been having sore throat and heaty flu now. Cannot drink too much liang drinks so trying to eat less heaty food. My appetite is very small, when I get a full meal, I can only finish less than half of it, thus was being scolded by hubby for utilising less than half $$ of the meal.

To the newbies, welcome. Sorry I can't get all your names as this thread is just moving too fast.

Littlemini, I am very sad to hear about your case, do keep up your spirits and you can still try again early next year. The chance is still there for you!

Heels, I have been wearing sneakers, and lofters to work. Although I look shorter in them, at least when buses come, I can run for them. Of coz that was before I am preg, now, I cannot imagine myself running after them, only walk faster to catch them.
 
Hi iamsnow,
I understand how you feel. I also feel the same way now although as I understand from the nurse, this is perfectly normal as long as we're not experiencing very painful cramps, spotting or bleeding. If there is, please make an appt with your doctor asap.

I'll ask my gynae more about this on Monday. I still feel perfectly fine today. Not even the feeling of being bloated etc. A little worried at the back of my head, but trying to reassure myself that everything if fine. I asked the nurse if I could go for an earlier scan and she said that at 6 weeks, we may not even be able to see anything or diagnose. So, will still have to adopt a wait and see attitude. As long as there's no bad cramps, spotting or bleeding, everything is fine.
 
krispy, i'm thinking of spending some money to go and scan at the gynae near my hse.... dun want to travel all the way to kk....
 
COOL! Sakali we saw each other BUT dunno who is it! Wow next time we can gather easier too liao. Jurong point aha.

I opp coffee shop but inside. 648 yeah. U also? alamak its getting interesting! I been here for 3yr liao lo. But in my life i been living in Jurong la
 
Iamsnow,
We can just walk in and scan? I'm also feeling very tempted to go now. I actually called up KKH cos I emailed Dr SF Loh just now for advise and he asked me to go by later to collect Duphaston. Then I read online that Duphaston shouldn't be eaten during pregnancy!! Sigh... I wish my husband is a gynae. Then all my questions would be answered.

Anyway, the KKH nurse told me no point scanning now cos only coming to 6 weeks. May not see anything. I'm so so confused now plus I already have an appt to scan on Monday with Dr Fong. Thinking of just taking half the day off and walking into any gynae clinic for a scan.
 
krispy, how come u call sf loh? my gynae is him. he gave me duphaston from my first day when I discovered I was pregnant. I'm taking till now. he say to take for whole 1st trimester.... i realise he likes to give duphaston for stabilising the baby.

my first appt with him was in week 6. but I was feeling very unwell in week 5, so I went to the gynae near my hse to scan. managed to see the baby's heartbeat. after that, I was more assured then.... u might want to spend the money to get some assurance.... my hubby keep asking me to go, instead of worrying at home.
 
Krispy,

I not sure about KKH. Heard from a frd, KKH not as good as in the past and they do not scan frequently too. Actually after 6weeks scan can only see tiny mini one less than 5mm i think. But stil able to hear heartbeat which is Impt.

Maybe U wan to chose a Pte Gynae instead? Now their cost can be even reasonable than Govt hospital lo. Just a suggestion. Main stil you & ur Hb discuss among yourself yeah. Some Pte Gynae they offer Pre Natal Package which you can take into consideration too yeah
 
cynthia, I think kkh's scan dept is different from the gynae. the gynae does not scan for u. this is something which I am not very comfortable with, that's why I intend to switch to the pte suite so that the gynae will do the scanning. the waiting time will be shorter also.
 
cynthia! champion la...there's four blks of 648 rite? u A,B,C or D? me also 648...i have this v. v. v. strong feeling we same blk!! hahaha

eh, skali every morning u see the black black grouchy face at the bus stop is me la! hhahaha
 
iamsnow.... My gynae is Dr Han How Chan at KKH. U r right abt the scan... and the waiting time... faintz. But come to think of it... lots of ppl has gone thru this procedure... My hubby was telling me juz go for the impt scan... shld b sufficient.
 
btw, cynthia, i'd been in jurong for my whole life la! hahaha...my mum stays opp pioneer mall, the older neighborhood...that explains why am always home for dinner...kekeke
 
wow cynthia and juliet is like betting toto, so gan jiong and exciting ley hehee too bad u din bet on yesterday 3million ah.
 
hahaha...babycupid, i dun hv such luck...on my level, all older pple...my mother kind of generation one...the kids all our age one...sianz...
 
ya lor hor! shit la...we should hv this conversation earlier..then can hoot numbers for toto! wah liew...wasted sia! haha...nvm la, now can try 4D...hahahhaa
 
My last waiting time is abt 2hrs 45mins! Sometimes very fast abt 45mins. the nurse at the reception simply idle le!

I went to Ann Tan - Mt Eliz waiting time is shorter but very expensive! I remember initial checking for blood test is about >$200 liao! Then my hb decide to switch to KKH, so we go to polyclinic and do the routine blood test again... B'cos referrals from polyclinic to KKH is so much cheaper...
 
after one week of long wait, finally i can see my gynae to confirm the status of my pregnacy today!

hehee update:
at 5w2d, can only see the water bag 0.62cm. nothing liao. but bcos i dun experience any sign of pregnancy, ms, sore breasts, he gave me duphaston and ordered a blood test to test the pregnancy hormones. if not high enough, tomorrow i must go back for injection.

very strange, for my 1st pregnancy one year ago, i experience bad ms, now really nothing ley.. dun tell me as i grow older, my pregnancy hormones dropped? aiyah dun anyhow guess, wait for the blood test report out in the noon :-|
 
juilet,
hee u very cute ley hahaa

sparks,
i went to mt e today too! more than $200 blow away with the wind! very ex! but in mt e, sometimes the waiting time may be very long too = 2hours. not meaning expensive then might be faster ley. i ever wait more than 2 hours before
 
hi roxy,
i very kiasu, my gf recommended me to use Palmer (from watson) to avoid stretch mark, so far ok. but i ve not been very diligent in applying. free then apply, not free - heck care..
happy.gif
 
Hmm... i was reading through the posts abt KKH and want to share my experience.

Scans are done when necessary and when ordered by the doctor. Scans are quicker at 24 hour clinic and at the private suite cos there are scan machines in every room. If you go to specialist clinic, your scan will be done by another doctor and nor your usual doctor.

KKH may not be cheaper than private hospital if you are paying un-subsidized rates. Per visit to consultant at the private suite, I'm told, starts at $80/visit. This excludes tests and scans and medicine.
 
for stretch mark.. my gd frend actually bought me a 'Avent' brand cream. she used it for both her pregnacies.. she said bery gd..
 
The time waiting for to go lunch is very free le... Now already plannng for the place to go... very free... aft lunch... yawn.. wanna sleep haha
happy.gif
 
i seconded cactus79's postings... only go for scans when necessary...


Babycupid... advise from my sis post-natal massage lady... do not use a few brands at once to reduce/eliminate stretch marks. Stick to a brand consistently to avoid adverse result. She has seen a nurse apply so many brands (oil/creams/lotion) in her tummy and thighs area and when she giving her massage she notice there are big black patches around both areas.

I'm now using Nivea Cream. not going for any other brands... i find it very moisturing and my hb says it's good enough....
 


wah, that sounds like a smart move, cactus!
luckily mine not that bad...at least for my 1st visit, waited less than 10 mins niah...
